I have just had the opportunity to unbox and do a test usage on this action camera. I do VLOG's outdoors and on motorcycles. I was attracted to this camera because of its ability to work with a direct plug in external microphone. I have not had the chance to test this feature just yet.

Outstanding clarity.Robust build.Slim profile. Excellent stabilization. Outstanding audio. Only drawback is that Sony longer allows you to upload video to Facebook Live. That was why i purchased it in the first place

Everything Is As Advertised

Camera Wi-Fi no longer supported by Sony to allow instant uploads to online social media; No more Facebook Live

GPS does not function with this camera anymore due to some issues with Google (). Not worth the premium price if the functions are not available. No mapping, No Speedometer, No GPS date. Sony support will not help or compensate for the missing functions.

Aside from that, image quality, instant autofocus, bright and colour-accurate display, possibilities of customization and rather compact size make it one of...

Best I had

The feature set on the Sony FDR-X3000 is absolutely AMAZING for the money, the menu is actually fairly easy to understand once one uses it for a short while, and the B.O.S.S. system is absolutely tremendous in both execution and final results. Blown away by it, actually.

Very like !.)

Excellent image and audio quality; Good optical image stabilisation; Long battery life; Thoughtful design improvements;

Poor display on the Live-View Remote Control; Slow to power on (when using the Remote Control); Bulky waterproof case;
